I couldn’t let this year’s Cinco de Mayo holiday go by without sharing this amazing recipe for Jalapeno Margarita’s that I got from my friend Dan. I’ve never had a Jalapeno Margarita before, but I can tell you there will be many more in my future!
Dan tells me this recipe was a bit of a happy mistake, when he meant to reach for the tequila but grabbed the Tito’s vodka instead. This recipe uses a simple syrup. My recommendation is to double the simple syrup recipe in the “Notes” section of the recipe and use the remaining simple syrup to dip your margarita glass rims in and then adhere the salt onto it.
